Answer 1

Answer: $x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality $2x + 1 < 5$ you can follow this procedure to solve it:

The first step is to subtract 1 from both sides on the inequaltity.

$2x + 1-(1) < 5-(1)\\\\2x < 4$

Now, the second  and final step is to divide both sides of the inequality by 2. Therefore, you get this result:

$\frac{2x}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{x$

You subtract by 1 from both sides of equation.

$2x+1-1$

Simplify.

$5-1=4$

$2x$

Divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

$\frac{2x}{2}$

Simplify, to find the answer.

$4\div2=2$

X<2 is the correct answer.
